Teaching Ideas: |
Internet searches could be done to find out more about Dolley, the War of 1812, and other important events of the time. Students may be interested in contrasting Dolley's "job" as First Lady with current First Ladies. This book can be linked with the book, The Flag Maker, which talks about the War of 1812 from a different perspective. |
